anti-freeze

I just noticed today that my car has been having a sweet smell exactly like anti-freeze after i drive it. I first noticed it earlier, but i could have smelled it inside my car. What can it be? I opened my hood and found nothing visually wrong with it.

Several possible sources. Nice thing about anti-freeze is that it generally leaves behind easily discernible evidence of where it is leaking from. Take a flashlight and shine it up to where the heater hoses attach at the firewall, scope out your water pump and check your passenger footwell real good. Then scan all the hose connections underhood and look at your pressure cap and overflow connections, your air bleeds and throttle body too.
